[QUOTE="allen-uk, post: 1796534, member: 383404"] I've been digging around, and have a couple of operational questions. (I like 'Spideroak' - their approach to security seems similar to mine, i.e. trust nobody!) So, you set up your account, and have a 'digital safe' out there in the cloud. Then, I send my superencrypted 'sensitive' files to that safe, and there they sit. And can I then DELETE them from my computer? Point is, I don't want my supersensitive files to be left lying around my flat (on my hard drive, wherever). I want them gone. And then, given that the whole kaboosh is only 20Mb, can I call it back to my machine as and when I need it, de-encrypt it, use it, and send it back to my safe? If that's not how it works, how does it work? You've convinced me of the idea of distant safe-keeping, it's just the day-to-day workings of it that I'm trying to get my head round. I know what I'm describing isn't what these systems are set up for, which seems to be backing up, but my variation should work, I think. Any enlightenment appreciated. Allen. [/QUOTE]
